Hajigak mining concession
Hajigak Mine is the best known and largest iron oxide deposit in Afghanistan is located at Hajigak in Bamyan Province, it is also Asia’s biggest untapped iron ore deposits. The deposit itself stretches over 32 km and contains 16 separate zones, up to 5 km in length, 380 m wide and extending 550 m down dip, seven of which have been studied in detail. The ore occurs in both primary and oxidized states. The primary ore accounts for 80% of the deposit and consists of magnetite, pyrite and minor chalcopyrite. The remaining 20% is oxidized and consists of three hematitic ore types. The deposit remained unmined in 2006. The presence of coking coal nearby at Shabashak in the Dar-l-Suf District and large iron ore resources made the deposit viable for future development of an Afghan steel industry. Open pit mining and blast furnace smelting operations were envisioned by an early feasibility study.〔USGS〕 The Hajigak also includes the unusual niobium, a soft metal used in the production of superconducting steel.〔aol〕
==History==
History reveals that Germans were the first one to exploit this deposit systematically after planning a steel mill during or after World War I. But the Great Game prevented this venture. Russians in the sixties prepared a comprehensive report on the mineral resources of Afghanistan and tried to exploit but they also failed.
When the Kala Bagh steel mill was planned in the late 1960s in Pakistan, it was thought to use some percentage of Hajigak iron ore as the Pakistani mines were not of good quality but this scheme also failed.
